We have six seasons and Country tells us when they have arrived by what we feel, see, taste, smell and hear. Discover how the Yawuru people read the seasons in this beautifully illustrated book. 'The book's words are simple but perfectly capture the wonders of Country ... the beautiful cultural artworks [incorporate] the lovely rich and beautiful colours found in the Kimberley region ... I highly recommend this book to all readers as it not only offers a beautiful read but also empowers and fosters deeper connections to Country.' READING TIME
